What is the Shrek story about?
Shrek is the story of an ogre whose world is turned upside down when fairy tale characters start showing up inside his swamp home. Banned from the evil Lord Farquaad’s kingdom, the fairy tale characters are looking for a new home – only Shrek (the ogre) doesn’t want his home to be their home too. So Shrek seeks out the evil Lord Farquaad to get his “pest” problem solved. Farquaad gives Shrek a quest (rescue a princess) with the guarantee that if the quest is successful, then Farquaad will intervene with the pesky fairy tale character infestation that Shrek is having.
